Last week, LinkedIn announced that it was acquiring a cool young startup called Bright.com for $120 million. As we previously reported, this sale was a two-in-a-row hit for one of its co-founders, Eduardo Vivas.

And here's one of the most interesting parts: Vivas is only 28 years old and a high school dropout, a LinkedIn spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider.

Vivas obviously didn't get here all by himself. He co-founded Bright.com with another serial founder, Steve Goodman. (Goodman founded PacketTrap, acquired by Quest Software; Lasso Logic acquired by SonicWALL – both now part of Dell; and Learning Productions acquired by SkillSoft.)

Meanwhile, he had a co-founder at Social Hour, Adam Foroughi, who is also onto his next cool startup, Applovin.com. It's backed in a seed round by a bunch of Valley bigwigs including Webb Investment Network, the VC arm of super angel Maynard Webb.

Vivas and Goodman raised $20 million in venture investment and built Bright into a company with about 30 employee, including "nuclear physicists, astrophysicists, geophysicists, neuroscientists, organizational psychologists, teachers," Vivas wrote in his final blog post on Bright.com.
